Please! A Simple Version of the Anglican Ordinariate Office for Lay PeopleNEW LITURGICAL MOVEMENT - December 6, 2016 Here is a both a request and proposal for the Anglican Ordinariate, if I may be so bold. Can you produce a version that can be reduced to a short booklet containing the Psalter and the unchanging prayers? If, in addition to that, we can find a way for the changing parts to be supplied by smart phone, then I think that you will have something that will really catch on. It will be simple to use and cheap. If the Ordinariate would produce something like this, then I for one ...http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheNewLiturgicalMovement/~3/YFuoAxa5k6Y/please-simple-version-of-anglican.html

I long for the luxury of waiting, of having time to sit and watch, to take long stretches for prayer. But the Advent I dream of is not the Advent I have. So I take heart in theologian and Jesuit Father Walter Burghardt's encouragement to be aware of what is right before us: "This very moment, for all its imperfection and frustration, is pregnant with possibilities, pregnant ...http://quantumtheology.blogspot.com/2016/12/column-advent-1-this-very-moment.html

Advent Is IMPERATIVE!HOMILIES AND OCCASIONAL THOUGHTS - November 27, 2016 If the parish ever runs short of money and I need to moonlight, I have a perfect job waiting for me: teaching grammar. It seems almost everyone I know under forty has forgotten the basic rules of English grammar. Just about every day I hear someone say "her and me went down to McDonalds." On the radio this week I heard "Less people attended the rally this year." Come on! Less rain, maybe, but fewer people. Some of our younger parishioners consider me a badge-carrying member ...http://gregorynsmith.blogspot.com/2016/11/advent-is-imperative.html

Regular Sunday Vespers With Dominicans in ManhattanNEW LITURGICAL MOVEMENT - September 15, 2016 ... the week, and Vespers will then be sung at 5:15; the booklet for the first Sunday can be consulted here . The priest who prepared it, Fr Innocent Smith O.P., has been mentioned here on NLM several times in connection with his interest in Dominican chant and various talks that he has given about it. I have known Fr Smith for many years, and I know that he will certainly do a great job in making this a worthy and beautiful celebration of the Church's evening prayer. The parish ...http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheNewLiturgicalMovement/~3/qBSD9tCrAHM/regular-sunday-vespers-with-dominicans.html

Kick-Starting Your Prayer LifeAGGIE CATHOLIC BLOG - September 12, 2016 All of us have difficulties with prayer and we have to understand this is normal. Prayer takes a lot of work, even to get to the point of being OK at it. In many ways prayer is like any other relationship. Many of us start out basing it, in many ways, on good experiences and emotions. This, as in a romantic relationship, is a good thing, because it helps bring two people closer together. But, real love can only be fostered once we stop ...http://www.aggiecatholicblog.org/2016/09/kick-starting-your-prayer-life/
